If there’s no “A”, I go away. This place (Lots-O-Bagels) had a “Grade Pending” rating posted. Grade pending usually means it’s bad and they are contesting the grade. 9 out of 10 get an A, it’s not that hard to keep a clean kitchen.

Thanks for posting that site. Even with an A there are violations to keep me away. I urge people to click on the restaurants they visit and see what the inspection lists (even the ones with a good grade).

The NYC Ferry system is set to undergo a significant expansion in coming months, with the Astoria route, connecting the western Queens neighborhood to Wall Street, getting a new stop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring.

A 24-year-old Brooklyn man who crashed his car on the BQE in 2017 and left a 25-year-old Astoria woman inside his burning vehicle to die was sentenced yesterday to four to 12 years in prison, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
